Fantoccini is a Rust library providing a high-level async API for programmatically controlling browsers via the WebDriver protocol. It supports common operations like clicking elements, filling and submitting forms, and fetching page sources using CSS selectors.
Use cases
- scrape dynamic web pages rendered by javascript
- automate form filling and submission in a browser
- run end-to-end browser tests against a web app
- click through site flows programmatically
- download files behind authenticated browser sessions
- automate interactions with a headless browser in rust
When to choose
- you are writing rust and need WebDriver-based browser automation
- you want a high-level typed API over geckodriver/chromedriver
- you need to interact with javascript-heavy pages that plain HTTP clients cannot handle
When to avoid
- you need a simple HTTP scraper without a real browser
- you prefer selenium or playwright ecosystems in other languages
- you need pixel-perfect screenshot or video capture tooling
